Starting at 6:30 a.m. Friday, May 5th, the city of Miami will launch its free downtown rubber-tire trolley system that officials hope will persuade people to “ditch the car and hitch a ride’’ for short jaunts to work, play, eat and shop.
The orange-and-green, retro-style trolleys will run every 15 minutes and take passengers on Biscayne Boulevard south from the Omni district, across the Miami River to the end of the Brickell financial and residential district, with marked stops at every block. The air-conditioned trolleys will run 6:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. every day but Sunday. Special runs will be added for Sunday Miami Heat playoff games.The trolleys will also make three loops: one around Mary Brickell Village, another out to Brickell Key, and a third past Margaret Pace Park just north of the old Omni complex.
Because the trolley will also stop at or near Metromover and bus stations, the Downtown Development Authority says, it will give downtown Miami a densely interconnected transit system unrivaled by any other city in Florida.
